Can you please simplify this equation for x:

10%2Bbx=b-4

Step 1. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation

10%2Bbx-10=b-4-10

bx=b-14

Step 2. Divide by b to both sides of the equation

bx%2Fb=%28b-14%29%2Fb

x=%28b-14%29%2Fb

Step 3. ANSWER: x=%28b-14%29%2Fb

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
